Hi, folks, our regular GBS Records website has been hacked. Oy vey. So the website is down. In the meantime, here’s our “News” section for 2017: (oh, btw, because the site is down, none of the button links in the above graphic work. But links to other pages like our Gear page are above under the “About” tab beside the Home tab.)

Winter 2017 News:

Hi y’alls, here’s what’s been going on at GBS Records so far in 2017… We just got back from Nashville where we worked with Al Perkins, legendary pedal steel guitar player who’s worked with, well, everybody; he’s a sweet country gentleman and it was a pleasure hanging out with him. We cut tracks at Tony Morra‘s “The Downtown Batterie Studios” (Tony’s an incredible drummer and just a super guy.) Our client Jas Scarff from GuitarHouse Workshop had Al lay pedal steel on several of his superb songs. Our pal Lizard McGee and his fantastic band Earwig just released their second single for their GBS produced release, Pause For The Jets, and the video for the single feature Columbus star Nina West. Shot by the brilliant Stephen Webster of Worldwide Hideout Photography.

We’ve also been working with the amazing Maddie Bolzenius (with her vocal parter Phoebe!) of Black Moon & The Springtide for their upcoming full length release (also check out Maddie’s other band Admiral Contempt, recorded with GBS’s great friend Craig Markley of Ravenshack Studios— yay Craig!!)Also putting together a beautiful folk album is local/international folk music artist Joanie Calem, who was a featured “Comfest Honored Artist” this year!

In film work, we were pleased to collaborate with local young filmmaker Jack Campise on his latest work, “All At Once”, which was also a collaboration with our good friend Lizard McGee and Earwig, also featuring the song “Wasted On You” shot at King Ave 5 and debuted at CCAD.Filmmaker Neal Havener of Pretty Egg Productions is at GBS working on his latest film, due for a summer release, and of course we also continue our work with longtime client and fellow world traveller Robert Post on his great video series, “Posts From The Road” with video help from the amazing Ben Bays.

Also at the Dublin Irish Festival this year check out GBS clients, the sensational Slide and pick up a copy of their Mendicity release, which we had the honor of recording members Mick Broderick and David Curley, who also recorded their own superb album, Brand New Day here at GBS. And of course The Drowsy Lads, local celtic greats, with their latest GBS recording, Pick It Up. They are simply marvelous.

Also in the studio this summer, songwriter Jim Scarff is completing his album, featuring local greats Kay Harris of Sirens, drummer Matt Mees, and bassist Phil Maneri of 5th Ave Fret Shop (and of course Jim is a guitar instructor at the superb Guitar House Workshop, a shining example of a music community / artist’s workshop that we are so lucky to have in Cbus.) Cheers, and happy holidays!

GBS Records, Tom Boyer and Eric French
